I submitted this image to JPG Magazine for the Geometry,Lines,Patterns challenge. It is a bit of a subtle interpretation on the theme but if you think it worthy, please vote for it here.

Love the lines and patterns, I don't think it is a stretch on the theme at all. Best of luck!

Legs to trample in the wheat, very good result. Light is perfect, the red takes out again very well, very nice composition.

I like your interpretation of the challenge! Great PoV and the movement of her feed makes it a great action picture. The spiral on her foot is a strong detail!

I like it. It makes for an interesting entry.

Monique from Netherlands

Great point of view, love the movement and the lighting!
Great details are the color red of her skirt and the red spiral on her foot!

A great idea here, Jason. Like it. Maybe I would have tried to suppress the motion blur with shorter exposure...

You could have done so many things, but I don't think any could be as brilliant as this...WOW, well done, I'm pretty darned sure you'll be among the finalists...it's super cool;)

All I know is that this is a great frame, with very nice processing.
Is that LR 2.0 again?

1 Aug 2008 7:11pm

@Behrooz Sangani: Thanks Behrooz - this was edited LR2.0 although in the case of this image, I could have probably achieved very similar result in LR1.4. All the edits for this shot are across the whole image and I did not use LR2.0's local editing brush.

beautiful motion here -- oddly, my favorite bit (though i love the entire photograph) is the red spiral tattoo on her ankle -- just fascinating!

1 Aug 2008 7:32pm

@dj.tigersprout: thanks - that spiral is what inspired me to take the shot in the first place, I was lying on the ground with my camera waiting for her to step out away from some other people and past that little bit of wheat sticking up in the left of the frame. Out of 3 or 4 shots, I liked this one the most because of the motion in her other foot and the little bit of red flowered dress which matches her red spiral so nicely.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

Thats a really smart photo from a crop circle. I haven't seen one in ages, I love the movement here and the direction of the wheat.

DaveB from Exeter, United Kingdom

Love the slight blur, and don't think it's a stretch on a theme at all! Nice shot!
